The Fun Lovin’ Criminal is back telling his stories and playing all the original music he wrote and produced. Accept no imitations, The King of New York is back.
From growing up on the lower east side of NYC in the 70s and 80s to touring the world with Fun Lovin Criminals.
The award winning BBC broadcaster Huey Morgan brings his expert knowledge of blues, funk, soul, disco, latin, jazz, hip hop, punk and rock n’ roll music with customary New York cool to an event near you
Huey has been recording music since he was 12 years old. After getting his first multi-track recorder he decided it was his calling to be able to produce the music wanted to make.
After FLC’s signing to EMI records, Huey secured the rights to produce the album after label boss Davit Siegerson, (who is also a lauded producer in his own right), heard the production quality of the demos they submitted.
And in doing so, Huey Morgan’s work as a producer, writer and arranger has seen gold and platinum sales in over 10 countries and selling over 10 million albums worldwide. His attention to detail and confidence in his own taste is evident on all of the FLC albums as well as projects he has produced for other artists.
When production authenticity is important, call Huey.
The defining sounds of popular music – blues, rock ‘n’ roll, punk, hip-hop – were shaped and driven by rebel voices: whether that was Robert Johnson and Billie Holiday in the 1920-40s, or the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Joe Strummer in the 1960s and 70s.
Truly ground- and rule-breaking voices have been drowned out by pop-by-numbers acts in more recent years, and in rebel heroes, Huey Morgan investigates where music started to lose its soul, and why the lessons of those renegade spirits of yesteryear are still so vital.
The book is steeped in Huey’s love for, and knowledge of, music and is full of personal anecdotes and stories of some of the greatest musicians to have graced us with their talent.
